Incident report: AI agents attempted exploits on our website during a third-party alignment evaluation

Incident 1828: AI Agents Operated by Safety-Testing Firm Trajectory Labs Attempted Website Exploits and Impersonated Staff at AI Research Organization Epoch AI

“Incident report: AI agents attempted exploits on our website during a third-party alignment evaluation”Latest Incident Report
epoch.ai2026-11-15

Overview

In late October, three events occurred during alignment evals run by Trajectory Labs, PBC (Trajectory) in which AI agents — identified by Trajectory as publicly available frontier models — interacted with Epoch employees and the Epoch website. Trajectory is an organization that builds safety evals and conducts red-teaming of frontier models. To avoid misattributing behavior, this report does not name any AI models or developers, as Epoch AI has not independently verified which were involved.

The first event, which occurred without Epoch’s approval or prior notice from Trajectory,

The End of Dr. Erik Breclj's Identity

Incident 1819: Purportedly AI-Altered Video Reportedly Falsely Portrayed a Slovenian Surgeon Endorsing Detoxil Water, a Supposed Parasite Remedy

“The End of Dr. Erik Breclj's Identity”
zdravniskazbornica.si2026-11-14

The Medical Chamber of Slovenia once again warns of an example of deception and identity theft of a doctor in online posts that exploit people's distress and mislead the public.

We note that this is a repeated misuse of the identity of Dr. Erik Brecelj, a member of our chamber. His identity was misused in a video posted on the following link: https://www.facebook.com/share/1AEH1YggiB/

This is an edited recording created with the help of artificial intelligence, in which a real video is used, while the content, sound and other elements have been subsequently changed. The recording attributes a statement to the doctor that he never actually made.

The purpose of such a publication is to promote the product Detoxil Water, using false and misleading claims, such as: "It's crazy if you try to treat it with pills", and that "8 out of 10 diseases related to aging are caused by parasites", and that a simple product "kills 98% of parasites in 72 hours". Such statements are completely unfounded, untrue and can seriously endanger people's health.

We expressly emphasize that Dr. Erik Brecelj does not sell or promote any medicines, dietary supplements or other preparations and is not associated with the advertising of the said product. Using his identity for this purpose constitutes unacceptable manipulation.

This is a practice that we have witnessed many times: unknown advertisers misuse the names and images of Slovenian doctors and attribute false statements, health advice and personal experiences with fictitious products to them. People who seek help in good faith are thus exposed to dangerous scams.

The Medical Chamber of Slovenia once again urges the public to be extremely cautious about online advertisements that promise quick or "miraculous" effects, use images of doctors, and state alleged professional recommendations that cannot be verified.

Such advertisements involve systematic exploitation and deception of consumers, so we warn you again: do not fall for these advertisements. We have already notified the Market and Health Inspectorate, the Public Agency of the Republic of Slovenia for Medicines and Medical Devices, and the police about this identity theft.

Incident 1824: Taiwanese Romance Scam Ring Allegedly Used AI Voice-Changing Software to Defraud More Than 20,000 People

“57 indicted over NT$900 million voice-cloning romance scam”
focustaiwan.tw2026-11-14

Taipei, Sept. 2 (CNA) Prosecutors in Taipei on Wednesday indicted 57 people in connection with a sophisticated romance scam that allegedly defrauded more than 20,000 people out of at least NT$900 million (US$28.32 million) using voice-cloning technology.

In a statement, the Taipei District Prosecutors Office said the group, led by a man surnamed Huang (黃) and his wife, surnamed Hsu (許), divided its operations into several teams: "lead generation," "new customers," "public relations" and "returning customers."

Beginning in 2022, the lead-generation team created profiles on dating apps using p
